odd listing

ebay.com link: Theatre of Magic Pinball Machine

guy trying to get a buy it now if you contact him,, I did and got one of those "wacky" requests to jump hoops and all to get the sale done

its still on ebay now (started at $400or so and now up to the $2900 mark (listed for a 1 day listing!)

says "university of Richmond"

any of you folks the capital city verify this guy?

I am looking for a TOM but this one seriously has my spidey senses tingling

Try 100% scam. This pops up every few weeks or so on eBay. I always report it when I see it as I did this one. High value machine offered for ridiculously low price but you have to email before bidding. Idea is to lead you on to make direct PayPal payment or western union outside the auction. And inevitably you will lose your money without recourse. They prey on greed and the desire for the "great deal" causing he buyer to abandon common logic. Done in the confines of eBay looks legit but it isn't

You derive satisfaction from -expletive removed-

The thing you obviously don t get is that you re not even contacting the right person....you are attempting to reach the scammer (the guy/girl) who hacked my account to list this item, and instead you ve reached the person who Actually owns this account. The only reason I bothered to reply was because you emailed to berate me about grammatical/spelling errors, and then used the incorrect your . Now being that I had to go through the whole deal with My account, I had to derive some amusement from this whole fiasco. And your tirade of insults with clear mistakes proved worthy. So please, instead of contacting me to curse me out, please direct your frustrations to eBay. Before I report you. Thanks.

What's the deal with ending the auction for the Theatre of Magic pinball? Knew you're lack of mastery of the English language meant it was a scam.

-expletive removed- scammer.
